Hi,
I am really hoping for some help please. I have a 2005 Premier edition*Type-R i have had since new, she has low mileage and always serviced by Honda.
Last week i found her jacked up and three chaps were removing the Cat converter, when challenged, they came after me with an electric saw and crowbar, i got away.
I have spoken to Honda who have told me they are hard to get and cost £3k plus the sensors which were cut and pipe etc we are looking at £4k
My question here is has anyone ever fitted an aftermarket Cat and if so will the engine management lights stay on? likewise with the sensors, has anyone got any experience of fitting aftermarket sensors? Any suggestions of a good alternative car? not really looking for anything sporty....
I want to go aftermarket as apparently the thieves don't*really go for these as they are worth very little and also save me a lot of money..... The insurance have told me if I put in a claim they will right the car off which seems a bit of a waste of what i think is a good car...
I appreciate i am a newbie here but any help or knowledge will be hugely appreciated.*
